Starting in early 2019, California Rule 21 requires that every new Distributed Energy Resource system interconnected in the PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E territories (about 150,000 solar PV and battery systems per year) must be capable of establishing secure communication with the utility for the purpose of maintaining grid stability.

This substantial, new capability will require major changes to the supply chain in terms of communication- and security requirements and corresponding skills needs. Many companies are just now reckoning with the size of the opportunity. Are you and your key business partners ready?

Join us for a day of learning & strategy development

To prepare for this tremendous challenge, the SunSpec Alliance is inviting executive decision makers and industry leaders to come together in a relaxed environment to become grounded in the topic of DER communication and develop a strategic plan of action:

Learn about California Rule 21, its roll-out schedule, and its impact on the industry

Discuss how California standards will be propagated across the U.S. in 2019 and 2020

Participate in an industry-wide program to address communication requirements, cybersecurity requirements, and skills gaps impacting stakeholders across the value chain

Participants in this exclusive event can expect to come away with a clear picture of how the Distributed Energy Resources market will develop in the coming weeks, months, and years, and with an understanding of how their leadership can influence the market for decades to come.
